Chelsea boss Graham Potter has attempted to calm expectations surrounding new signing Mykhailo Mudryk.
The Blues completed the signing of the Ukrainian from Shakhtar Donetsk for a massive £88m fee on Sunday.
Potter's side face Liverpool in a battle between ninth and tenth in the Premier League in the early kick-off tomorrow, and he has revealed that Mudryk could make his debut.
However, he claimed that the game is too soon for Reece James and Ben Chilwell.
He said in his pre-match press conference: 'He hasn't played so much football recently but has been training well. There's a chance [he could make his debut].
'We've got to help everybody understand that he is coming from a different league and has to adapt.
'He is a young player that has a lot of potential but has had good experiences already. He is an exciting player.
'He's very happy to be here. He is looking forward to his career here and looking forward to get started.'
Mudryk's last game for Shakhtar came on November 23, just days after the start of the World Cup.
The 22-year-old had scored ten goals in 18 games for the Ukrainian side this season before his move to Chelsea.
Mudryk becomes Chelsea's fifth signing this January, joining David Datro Fofana, Joao Felix, Benoit Badiashile and Andrey Santos through the door.
Meanwhile, Chelsea have agreed a £29million deal with PSV Eindhoven for Noni Madueke but have seen a £55m bid for Moises Caicedo rejected by Brighton.
Winger Madueke, 20, is expected to complete his move to Stamford Bridge shortly.
Following the signing of Mudryk and before Madueke, the Blues have now spent £445million since Todd Boehly's takeover.

this team will beat Liverpool at home. Gallagher and Mount to be the creative force while ziyech delivers the crosses for hervatz who can also help the midfielders as well and mudryk to run behind the lines and explore the weakness of A.A at the right back Area. good luck Blues 💙

Graham Potter should not calm our expectations on Mudryk. our expectations are too high and Mudryk must deliver as we expected. he costs a lot of money

Chelsea should be allowed to have two teams praying in premier league, because they can divide the team and remain with the substitutes.
